"Any" low light warnings received ?

Flying with or without any antenna mods?

Zero warnings and using the bunny ears.

I flown a few times at dusk now with the controller and have yet to receive a low light warning.

I would guess that the only problem anyone would ever have is that when flying near dusk you could very easily run out of enough light and get a low light warning. Once that happens it would seem you either land immediately or risk colliding with some thing because of the OA system being rapidly degraded or going off line completely.

I can't seem to designate a building as a subject to orbit. How does one do that? I have Skydio 2 with Controller

Oh these are done by hand, bro. There is no way to orbit a stationary target that isn't a person or car. Quite frankly, if you look at the end where I was orbiting my car, THAT was the Skydio's idea of an orbit! Hahaha! There was literally nothing by the car but one sign and the drone danced all over the place orbiting it. Drives me nuts.
